HAWKS GO UNDEFEATED The eighth grade football team had a most unusual and outstanding season. Under the guidance of Mr. LeRoy Blasi and Mr. Steve Clanton, and with much hard Work, the team was able to end the season undefeated. The SEASON STATISTICS record was six Wins and one tie. Hflwks One of the highlights of the season was the Qoiliard 20-6 defeat of a powerful Ark City team which had cle mgtgn 12' 12 a long record of Wins over a period of several D eirwa er 34'7 seasons. The defensive team especially dis- Sr .Y 34-0 played a great effort in stopping Ark City late Winfield 4O'O in the game in our own territory. This pre- Garmin 32'6 served the Win which could easily have been a Afk City 13-7 loss had they scored. This team contains great talent and desire. It is hoped that they can continue their suc- cessful Ways throughout their years at Cam- pus.

High. Boys are selected upon natural abilities, desire, and all round basketball talent Any boy may try out for the team. This year the team was selected from about forty boys and finally cut to fifteen. Seventh grade basketball teaches good basketball with emphasis upon good sportsmanship, team play, basic basketball fundamentals, and a desire to lead a school in the proper Way. Win or lose, a school is proud of the bas- ketball team, for they represent the school as leaders. This year's seventh grade team had fifteen good ball players with a desire to learn and Win. They faced good competition and with extremely hard Work have Won and lost. Anyone can be a good winner, however, a good loser is one Who tries to overcome and improve by harder Work. This squad has done just that. They are to be commended on their outstanding improvement. The seventh grade basketball team of 1968-69 Wishes to thank each of the student body and the teachers for their over- Whelming support through the season.
